Details

For the ultimate in outdoor versatility, this 3-in-1 jacket pairs a waterproof, windproof hooded shell with a PrimaLoft® ThermoBall™ insulated liner jacket that's crafted with fleece sleeves. She can wear both jackets together in rainy, cool conditions or wear them separately as weather permits.

So far I'm very happy with this jacket for my daughter. It's warm and the waterproofing is great. During a recent snow/rain storm my daughter was rolling around in the snow/slush and when she came in was 100% dry. It would be better if it the liner zipped into the shell or attached more securely but I know about that from other review when I bought it and I can see it being a bigger problem for small child that still needs help getting their jacket on but just a minor inconvenience for older/more independent kids.

I purchased 2 of these (one for each of my girls) and I wish I had noticed that the liner was not snapped into the top (behind neck)....every time the girls take it off it's a hassle to get back on because it's inside out and is a total mess of a jacket. Unless you are wearing these as two separate coats, its not worth it as we live in an area that has very cold winters. I am very disappointed that after all of the years that The North Face has been in the coat business that they haven't worked this one out yet (to also have snaps on the top of the coat so that it doesn't fall apart). I would not recommend for a winter coat :( Pretty colors though!

I really wanted to love this jacket, first the inner thermoball jacket is only thermo on the chest and back area. The outer jacket is just a waterproof shell. The two jackets don't zip together, there are snaps on each sleeve. This will not keep my 5yr old warm in a cold Chicago winter. This is definitely a fall/spring jacket. I needed a winter coat so it's going back. Very disappointed in this north face purchase.

Both coats alone are great but you cannot combine to make a warmer coat with one zipper. My daughter has to zipper both coats and everytime she pulls her arms out both sleeves are inside out so it is more work for her to take off and put back on.
